“Hijab is addressed in the holy Quran, Islamic narrations as well as in Ahlulbayt's (as) way of life; it is considered as one of Islamic principles; it’s a religious value that must be practiced and observed within the society.” said Grand Ayatollah Hussein Noori Hamedani in Qom.

"According to Islamic principles, hijab (veil) is not only limited to Muslims; it is considered as a universal issue which helps maintain the boundary between men and women and protect their dignity in societies." said Ayatollah Alavi Gorgani.
